   My boss told me (so it's gotta be true!) that the Macintosh IIci is due to
   be unveiled this Fall.  It is cosmetically identical to a IIcx, but chugs
   along at 25 megaHertz.  It was unveiled at a computer exposition (what better
   place to expose a computer?) recently.

I don't think it's a rumor.  I thought Apple officially announced that
it would present this along with the laptop on September 20 (21?) at
Universal Studios.  Sounds wild, maybe I did make it up :)

   Let me attach this with another rumor and suggest that this might be Apple's
   first machine with multiprocessing capability.  Not multi*tasking*, mind you:
   multiprocessing means really physically running two programs at once, like the
   Commodore Amiga has been doing for years.

I think there are rumors that it will have a graphics co-processor to
free the cpu.  Is this what you mean by multi-processing?
